A crucial focus was the organisation and the implementation of the data collection on theatre migrants and the development of a relational database. In this context, the following activities were carried out:
Semantic modelling and design of an entity-relationship model focusing on theatre migrants, their migration and their relation to each other, locations and institutions.
Implementation of the model as a SQL-based relational database.
Development of standards for data collection and design of a standardised data collection template.
Continuous refinement of the database implementation and conceptual scheme based on the experience gained during data collection.
Furthermore, we have succeeded in developing a visualisation tool that transfers the migrations of the theatre migrants recorded in our database onto a digital map.
One major international conference, "Theatre Migrants 1850-1918 - Motivations, Trajectories, Impacts", was held in Munich from 29-31 March 2022. We are currently preparing a publication on this.
A total of five workshops were conducted within the framework of the project: Besides three internal and one methodological on research with data and databases, two large international workshops were organised, the first one from 7 to 8 November 2022 in Munich entitled "Thinking Migration and Postmigration in Europe through Colonialism, Empire, and Race", and the second one from 24 to 26 November 2022 on "Polish Theatre History from the Perspective of Migration" in Krakow.
The first research results were presented at international conferences and workshops. In addition, the first publications were published.
In order to reach a wider public, T-MIGRANTS disseminates activities and information on the project's website: www.t-migrants.com
